Positive Love is a group which cares for and supports people who are infected or affected by HIV / AIDS. We are a registered Non-Profit Organisation and support a number of different projects and other NPO's in various ways - through Love Packs and Baby Packs, and through the various skills of the Positive love team in sewing, interior decorating, teaching and mentoring. The Love Packs and Baby Packs are distributed to patients at Groote Schuur Hospital (neonatal unit and G25 ward) and Philangathemba HIV support group in Khayelitsha. In addition, we support a project called Creative Kids, uses art and drama to teach lifeskills to children affected by HIV and AIDS.
